The Tumi Latitude Luggage Collection has been announced by the iconic travel brand as a new iteration of its classic cases that will offer enhanced capabilities for travelers to enjoy when heading abroad.
The suitcases are crafted from rugged, self-reinforced polypropylene and feature a ballistic outer shell that boasts a stylish series of ripples and curves. This enables the case to shift, bend and flex during travel to eliminate the occurrence of a crack from ever happening.
The Tumi Latitude Luggage Collection cases are resistant to breaks and extreme temperatures, while a low-profile TSA-approved lock and lightweight spinning wheels ensure smooth sailing through terminals. The cases come in three size options to suit trips that range in length from short, to extended.
